Fenerbache vs Manchester U 3/11 Europa League Betting Tips
Struggling Manchester United Travel to Istanbul
LEAGUE: Europa League
GAME: Fenerbahce vs Manchester United
LOCATION: Sukru Saracoglu Stadium
DATE: Thursday 3/11
TIME: 19:00
In 5 previous meetings between the teams, Manchester United have won 3 times and Fenerbahce have won 2 times.
With three matches played in the 2016/17 UEFA Europa League Group A, three teams remain in contention to qualify for the knockout stages and two of them meet in this game. Fenerbahce started their campaign with a point in Ukraine, against Zorya Luhansk and although they would have been targeting maximum points, a very late equaliser made a 1-1 draw feel like a win. Dick Advocaat’s team got their first win by defeating Feyenoord 1-0 at home but the trip to Old Trafford was less fruitful, as his team went down 4-1.
The Europa League started with disappointment for Manchester United, as they went down 1-0 to Feyenoord, in Rotterdam. What followed was an unconvincing 1-0 win over Zorya Luhansk at Old Trafford before the 4-1 demolition of upcoming opponents, Fenerbahce. Jose Mourinho has got a real job on his at Old Trafford this season, as his team continue to slide down the Premier League table and perhaps the Europa League could be their best bet of making the Champions League.
Tips
We have looked closely at the following aspects of this match, which offer good betting value:
- Winner
- Win to Nil
- First Goalscorer
Fenerbahce Pile Pressure on Mourinho
Manchester United are struggling at the moment and Jose Mourinho must start winning games regularly, otherwise his position will be under question. Recent away form has been poor and in the Europa League, the Red Devils have lost their last four games on the road. Fenerbahce on the other hand, are a different prospect at home and have won all their last four home Europa League games.
Game Tip: Fenerbahce to Win is 3 at Ladbrokes
Fenerbahce Tough to Break Down
In their last four home Europa League games, Fenerbahce have not conceded a single goal and will want to continue their good home defensive record. Manchester United have managed to score just two goals in their last four away matches in the competition and have struggled to score away from home in the Premier League recently.
Game Tip: Fenerbahce to Win to Nil is 5 at Ladbrokes
The Flying Dutchman
Robin van Persie has struggled for Fenerbahce this season but raised his game at Old Trafford in the Europa League, scoring his team’s only goal of the game. If given the chance to start against his former club at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium, van Persie will be keen to score in-front of his home fans, against his old club.
Game Tip: Robin van Persie to Score First is 6.5 at Bet365
